Hookup Culture Hard on Lasting Relationships
Agnessa Kasumyan, Kendall Faulkner, Staff Writer
September 24, 2014
For many people today — particularly those in their late teens and early 20s who grew up around social media — dating is like a chore. With school and work taking top priority, most would rather give in to the “hookup” culture of today’s youth rather than foster healthy, long-lasting relationships. It... Read more »

September 11, 2014
One summer afternoon, I decided to distract myself from the overwhelming heat by looking through Ted Talks online, hoping to find something inspiring for my next blog. I finally came across a video of James Cameron, the mastermind behind “Avatar” and “Titanic.” Needless to say, his speech was... Read more »
Animal Vivisection Is Cruel and Inhumane
Julia Orr, Staff Writer
May 29, 2014
Look behind the manicured facade of a whole host of universities in California and you will find a hellhole for animals. Far from inquiring minds and hidden behind high security, animal experimentation laboratories operate at many prestigious institutions. Whether or not one agrees with vivisection —... Read more »
Sincerely, Aggie: Don’t Judge a College by Its Cost
Agnessa Kasumyan, Managing Editor
May 29, 2014
If someone told my 12-year-old self that I would be at a community college rather than at Oxford University penning the next greatest book series since Harry Potter, I would have most likely responded with a catty “that is never going to happen” eye-roll and avoided that individual out of snobby...

Sincerely, Aggie: It’s the Same Old Story, Monica
Agnessa Kasumyan, Managing Editor
May 15, 2014
As a child of the ’90s, I cannot even begin to remember when I first learned of the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton scandal. As unfortunate as this is, it would be like trying to remember when I first learned to walk or talk. That’s just how explosive the scandal was and continues to be (albeit unnecessarily). As...

Sincerely, Aggie: Bill Protects Student Data
Agnessa Kasumyan, Managing Editor
May 1, 2014
Being a fairly private person with journalistic career aspirations, I generally keep personal or opinionated posts on social media sites to a minimum. My accounts are primarily used to network, share news stories, and spam my friends’ news feeds with photos of my adorable, twinkly-eyed niece. However,... Read more »
Sincerely, Aggie: Kessab Armenians Under Attack
Agnessa Kasumyan, Managing Editor
April 3, 2014
As a child, I always dreaded the month of April, for it symbolized fear and the death of my ancestors and fellow Armenians. As March came to a close, my stomach suffered deep pangs of anxiety while my nights were haunted by thoughts of murder and separation from my family. While watching news segments... Read more »
Sincerely, Aggie: Pigeonholing Journalists
Agnessa Kasumyan, News Editor
March 19, 2014
Back in high school, when I was even more of a cub reporter than I am now, I could not understand why more people did not want to be journalists. For me, there was nothing quite like getting to hear people from all walks of life share their stories or sitting down to write an article after the adrenaline... Read more »

Kristine Dizon, Staff Writer
March 5, 2014
Cheap, paperless and light or an actual hard-bound book is a question that can lead to discussion among college students. “Students are not aware that e-books are available on our library website,” GCC librarian Karen Knotts said. The electronic books database can be found on the GCC library website.... Read more »
